Hi Patrick,

I have a back up of my Thunderbird profile on an FTP server.I am currently using Fedora 20.I have been able to just download the profile folder and edit the profile.ini on other Linux distros mainly Suse and Kubuntu.but some reason this does not want to work with fedora.There are only two things I can think of happening with this.1. something with how Fedora's thunderbird is set up so I need to change some other setting than just change 123.defult to 321.default2. there is something wrong with Fedora's filezilla set up so I am missing some files
Hmm--I'm going to be watching this thread. I'm
experimenting with Mint (Mate) 17 on an old
netbook in hopes of learning enough that I can
use Linux in the future. I had WindowsXP on it
and later versions of Windows don't appeal to
me (Windows 8 won't work anyway).
I've progressed through a series of machines
with Thunderbird and my method has been to
put the latest Thunderbird on the new system
and copy the contents of the profile (not the
profile itself because the new Thunderbird is
tied to the name assigned to its profile) from
the old computer to the profile of the new.
Through a series of Windows boxes and this
MacBook Pro the only problem was that the
"Apple Way" is to make the profile a hidden
file.
Someday I'll probably need the "how to" for
Linux.
